I very much agree. I hope we can avoid this un/hiding of files by 
moving it all out of the way into ~/config/settings/. I hate how 
Ubuntu's home folder is hopelessly flooded with dot files if one has to 
unhide stuff to change something (after a frustrating search most of the 
time...).

Speaking of that, shouldn't Haiku give a good example by moving .
bash_history and .profile etc. to e.g. ~/config/settings/Terminal?
